Question

I have not taken any drugs but I have a boyish appearance and a deep voice.

I believe that I have too much male hormone and would like to know whether I should take oestrogen pills to counteract the effect.

Would this alter my physique so that I might become more feminine?

Some past colleagues have compared me to transexuals and this has led me to feel quite upset.
